News and Open Source Releases

The weekend brought some significant news from Red Hat, the world's largest commercial Linux company. Red Hat is being purchased by IBM: "Today, one of the largest enterprise players on the planet has agreed to take open source and Red Hat even further. By joining IBM, Red Hat can deliver even more open source innovation to customers at a larger scale. Importantly, IBM has been a long time and great partner of ours, dating back to when they made a significant early investment in Linux and then became one of the first hardware platform partner to package and bring Red Hat Enterprise Linux to their customers."
